Deja Vu all over again.

Holy Crap...its like Deja Vu, all over again.

We like had this exact thread last year on either this board or umpire.org. The similarities are shocking.

Someone posted the video. Everyone said no way is that OBS. Then someone chimed in with, "well, if this is LL it very well may be OBS." Then it went from there.

I mean its freaky how they're almost the same exact thread. For a moment I thought I was going to have see a shrink...or play the lotto...because I definitely have seen this thread in advance!

Sorry. I did do a little searching before I posted it, but didn't find anything. Admittedly, though, my search was not thorough.

Right. And I could see it being obstruction in a LL and NCAA game, where the requirement has been strengthened to require that the fielder have the ball. You don't have to give him *A* path to the base, but the path he wants to the base.

In OBR/NFHS, this is nothing but a defensive coach getting close to getting run for not understanding the difference between an imminent play and obstruction.

It's a judgement call. Let's leave it like that. Some may call obstruction, others may not.
